As you know, we released our 2026 Legislative Ratings a few weeks ago. With NYC Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani and Buffalo Mayor-Elect Sean Ryan entering office soon and preparing their transitions, I wanted to remind you all of their records. Both Assemblyman Mamdani and Senator Ryan have abysmal records in the State Legislature, and they will soon be leading two major cities in New York.
Mamdani scored 5%, and Ryan scored 25%.You can view the ratings and bill descriptions here. Out of the 20 bills the Party rated, Mamdani didn’t even show up for 12 of them. He has long been known as the “no-show Assemblyman.” Will these soon-to-be mayors try to lead for everyone, or will they continue down their highly partisan path? We may not have won these elections, but there are still millions of New Yorkers who trust President Trump and the Conservative ideology as a whole, and who are here to fight for it.
Some people may complain at times, but no matter what I am thankful for the President. He’s done everything he said he would get done and at a faster pace than I anticipated. Like many of you I voted for safer streets, sane energy policy, fixing the illegal immigration problem, protecting my Second Amendment rights, and defending millions of New Yorkers’ rights to free speech and freedom of religion. I voted for a strong leader who provided stability around the world. I voted for a President who delivers on his promises and is committed to rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse in government.
I could go on and on, but the point is: I am not alone. These mayors have a choice, to govern for all, or to govern only for the radical DSA left. So far, their transition teams and staff picks have not been promising.
NY-11 Redistricting Shenanigans
I recently issued a forceful statement denouncing the blatant attempt by Governor Kathy Hochul’s allies to subvert the will of the voters in the NY-11 redistricting process.
Let’s not mince words here. The people of New York have already made it expressly clear—both at the ballot box and through past referenda—that they do not want partisan gerrymandering shoved down their throats mid-redistricting cycle. It’s wrong in every state, and it’s certainly wrong here in New York. The voters have spoken loud and clear: this kind of political sleight of hand is unacceptable. Acting Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Pearlman, a 20-year Hochul ally, must recuse himself from litigation to unconstitutionally change the boundaries of New York’s 11th Congressional District.
Speaker Announcement: Dominic Carter
We are pleased to share that Dominic Carter, a well-known radio and television personality and current radio host on 77 WABC, will be joining us at CPPAC 2026! Dominic will reflect on his many years covering politics, the crucial role conservatism plays in black communities, and how his experiences growing up in challenging neighborhoods shaped his worldview.
He will also discuss his long-standing relationship with former Chairman Mike Long, and how that connection influenced his understanding of leadership, principle, and meaningful political dialogue. In addition, Dominic will share insights from his new book, No Mamma’s Boy, offering a powerful look into his personal journey and life.

Hanukkah
As the holiday season continues and we move toward a wonderful Christmas Day, let us also take a moment to recognize Hanukkah, which begins for the Jewish community on Monday. May this time of year bring warmth, joy, and connection to all who celebrate, and remind us of the many meaningful traditions that make this season so special. Chag Sameach!
